Re: [RFC PATCH] Changes to pop-up source buffers

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for taking the time to do a thorough review of the patch, I found
your response (especially the many examples you included) to be very
illuminating.

I agree that relying more on display-buffer-based functions is good, but
in retrospect I may have been over-eager, especially since
reorganize-frame can't be switched over, and split-window-right might
require writing a new action function.

My main motivation was to use my own display-buffer configuration to
show the source buffer. So I've rewritten the patch to be smaller and
more conservative, just adding a "plain" option to org-src-window-setup,
and not changing the implementation of any existing options.  I think
this is less likely to disrupt existing workflows or introduce
accidental bugs.

What do you think of using this smaller patch instead?

As an aside, in case we do decide to re-implement some of the display
options, now or in future, I did have a slight discrepancy from the
behavior you describe for split-window-right:

On my own system, the window pops up below the existing Org buffer, even
if I have several existing horizontal splits. I'm not sure why.
